Don't think EA was being Sniping at you, SugarBeth. It was just a question that he reversed to the ladies about the feeling of a dick covered an uncovered and if you felt any difference once it broke. I hate that your going through this and hope it works out for you. BTW, has the guy tried to make contact with you to make sure your doing OK since the date, SugarBeth??

I then let him know a couple hours after getting the Planned B that I'd gotten it.
I think before I sent him the slight nudge towards a reality check, he was all up in lala land about finally finding his ATF. In my mind, him talking about how great the sex was makes me think "well, no shit, towards the end your penis wasn't covered," and that he's not necessarily appreciating ME as much as that-- though I know he really does love spending time with me even when we're just hanging out.
Also, I think I may have handled it too well and so he doesn't think it's a big deal. I'm glad I didn't worry him since I assured him about the Planned B, but still- you know? We both have sex with other people.
So yeah, I'm not mad or scared or anything extreme, but my equilibrium is disturbed and dealing with uncertainty is never really what I'd consider fun,
and this is the type of uncertainty in terms of STDs that I'm going to have to go through several rounds of sex testing before I feel absolutely sure, and I just hope that he does too.
And I have to wonder if this is going to change things between us. In some way, it's lucky that I'm leaving today so I can focus on travelling, put some geographical distance under my belt, and clear my head.
It'll be fine. This is just me being a worrier. Thanks for everyone who was comforting.
EA-- I get you weren't sniping at me, but you really wanted to direct your comment at someone else who you disagreed with. Having already more important shit on my mind, let's just say that I felt like redirecting you and not handing you the smart-ass response to match yours. You wanted me to respond so you could be like, "neener, neener" to the woman you disagreed with. That, to me, is using me to snipe at someone else-- even if you weren't targeting me for your sniping.
